    Why women should FAST differently than men… | Exercise & Nutrition Scientist Dr Stacy Sims

    07:57Why women should FAST differently than men… | Exercise & Nutrition Scientist Dr Stacy Sims
    • Exercise is a stronger stimulus for autophagy than fasting. Because if we look at exercise in itself is a fasting state. What happens during exercise, you start exercising, your body is trying to provide fuel. So it's breaking down fat, it's breaking down glucose, it's breaking down amino acids. It's also creating in a recovery standpoint, a boost of growth hormone, a boost of testosterone in both men and women that creates the cell cleanup, which is autophagy, right?

    • So if we're looking at the difference between fasting and exercise, exercise is a stronger stress. All the things that we hear about fasting and longevity, exercise does the same. It's a stronger stimulus for it. But the problem is we've become a lazy society and people think exercise is too hard. As an exercise physiologist, it breaks my heart to see people who are struggling to walk down the street because we are so used to being conditioned to a certain temperature in a room to having a car automatic opener or Uber come so we don't have to walk down the road.
